Original source quotation: “Gemini Robotics On-Device 2 is built specifically to handle these constraints — it is our most-efficient vision-language-action model (VLA) optimized to run locally on robotic devices”

Source E6

Original source quotation: “This model is natively multi-embodiment and inherits our advanced “motion transfer” techniques from Gemini Robotics 1.5”

Source E7

Original source quotation: “We can now adapt to new bi-arm robot embodiments with just a few hours of adaptation time, typically with less than 200 examples”

Source E8

Original source quotation: “This works even with new embodiments with drastically different shapes, sensors and degrees of freedom”

Source E9

Original source quotation: “Gemini Robotics ER 2 now understands when tasks begin and end, and can pinpoint the moment key events occur”

Source E10

Original source quotation: “Furthermore, we are introducing multi-robot collaboration. This enables different types of robots to communicate and work together to solve complex workflows a single robot could not do alone”

Source E11

Original source quotation: “Gemini Robotics ER 2 is our safest robotics model to date in safety constraint following and human proximity benchmarks”

Source E12

Original source quotation: “It can better detect when humans are nearby, trigger safety tool calls and bring the robot to a safe stop if someone approaches too closely”

Source E13

Original source quotation: “Gemini Robotics 2 marks an important milestone on the path toward solving AGI in the physical world”

Source E14

Original source quotation: “Unlocking the true potential of robotics requires moving past single-task automation toward general-purpose intelligence”
